Comedy night to benefit northern animals
A charity that assists animals in rural, remote First Nations communities, is hoping to help its cause with a little laughter.
The public is invited to help “Raise the Woof” St. Patrick’s day weekend. The Canine Action Project (CAP) is hosting a comedy night fundraiser.
CAP works to achieve a balance within communities for people and their dogs, adds Meagan Schmitz, vice president and volunteer with CAP, “Our whole mandate is ‘healthy dogs equal healthy communities.’”
Money raised during the comedy show will go towards the group’s medical emergency fund. Three weeks ago CAP received a call about two dogs who had a run in with a porcupine. Schmitz said the vet bill was $900.
